What NYC Locals Say
Real reviews from New Yorkers who know the city's nightlife inside and out
Marcus Thompson
Lower East Side
As someone who's lived in the LES for 8 years, I thought I knew all the spots. This crawl proved me wrong! Our guide took us to hidden speakeasies I'd walked past a hundred times. The cocktails at Attaboy were mind-blowing, and the stories about the neighborhood's history added so much depth to the experience.
Jessica Park
West Village
The West Village cocktail tour exceeded all expectations. Each bar had its own unique character, from the Italian elegance of Dante to the intimate speakeasy vibe of Employees Only. Our guide's knowledge of mixology and the Village's history made this more than just a bar crawl — it was a cultural experience.
David Kim
Williamsburg
Brooklyn native here — the Williamsburg brewery hop was fantastic! Great mix of established breweries and new spots I hadn't tried yet. The group was fun, the beer was excellent, and our guide kept the energy high all night.
Rachel Goldman
Upper West Side
The rooftop bar experience was absolutely magical. Watching the sunset over Manhattan while sipping craft cocktails is something every New Yorker should do. Our guide had insider access to some of the best rooftop spots in the city.
Alex Rivera
East Village
The East Village dive bar tour was a blast from the past! Our guide shared amazing stories about the punk rock history and the artists who used to hang out at these bars. Cheap drinks, great vibes, and real NYC character.
Sophia Martinez
SoHo
The SoHo speakeasy adventure was like stepping into a time machine. PDT's phone booth entrance alone is worth experiencing, but every stop had something special. Our guide knew the secret passwords and had relationships with the bartenders, so we got VIP treatment everywhere.
